Every (Major) Character in Star Wars: The Last JediLuke Skywalker: After briefly appearing, silently, at the end of The Force Awakens, Mark Hamill is back as Luke for The Last Jedi. Luke, in case you somehow don't know, is the main protagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy, which sees him go from humble farmhand to intergalactic hero and Jedi master. In Force Awakens, we find that Luke has been living in self-imposed exile, but now Rey has arrived to learn at his feet. The only thing is... it seems like he doesn't want to teach her.Rey: Rey appears, at least based on The Force Awakens, to be the Luke Skywalker of this new trilogy. She begins as a poor orphan, but suddenly finds herself facing down the First Order as a member of the Resistance. It becomes clear during that movie that Rey has a strong affinity with the Force, which is why she heads off to find Luke to become trained in the ways of the Jedi. But with Luke acting as a reluctant teacher in The Last Jedi, will Rey need to turn elsewhere to learn the ways of the Force?General Leia Organa: Like her brother Luke, Leia has been around since the original trilogy. There, she was a princess in need of rescuing. Now, she's a general in the Resistance and all-around awesome. Unfortunately, The Last Jedi was the final film Carrie Fisher worked on before she died, meaning this will be the last time we get to see Fisher in her iconic role.Kylo Ren: Also known also as Ben Solo, Kylo Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia. Once trained in the ways of the force by Luke, he turned to the Dark Side and aligned himself with Supreme Leader Snoke. He also has that fancy lightsaber. He was quite busy during The Force Awakens, killing his dad and fighting Rey before getting sliced up pretty bad... leaving him with even more in common with his grandfather, Darth Vader. Surely he will encounter Rey once again in The Last Jedi... but will it be as a foe -- or as a potential ally?Finn: In The Force Awakens, Finn breaks free from his life as a Stormtrooper to join the Resistance (and to get a cool jacket). He doesn't seem to have the Force within him, but he knows how to handle a weapon and seems primed to be important in the fight against the First Order. In the new film, Finn questions his place in the Resistance even as he travels on a mission to the casino city Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica.Poe Dameron: Despite being played by the totally awesome actor Oscar Isaac, Poe didn't seem to have a ton to do in The Force Awakens. He's an X-wing fighter pilot, but after crashing his plane he spends a lot of the first film in this new trilogy offscreen. However, if not for Poe, we wouldn't have BB-8 in our lives. In The Last Jedi, Poe will begin to look to taking on more of a leadership role under the guidance of Leia.Maz Kanata: Portrayed by Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o via performance capture, Kanata is a small, orange alien who has apparently lived for centuries. In The Force Awakens, she's a former pirate who has "settled down" by becoming a tavern owner with a roguish clientele. Naturally, she was friends with Han Solo. Her tavern was destroyed by the First Order, but evidently she's back for The Last Jedi. Maybe she's gotten back into pirating. Or maybe she's just opened a new bar.Supreme Leader Snoke: Much as Darth Sidious did before him, Snoke wields a ton of power via the Dark Side of the Force. He's the leader of the First Order and the master of Kylo Ren. In The Force Awakens, he only appears as a giant hologram. However, in The Last Jedi we will finally see Snoke IRL, as the kids say. Time will tell if his bigger plans for Kylo -- and perhaps Rey -- will be revealed in the film.General Hux: Like Kylo Ren, Hux answers to Snoke, but he doesn't get to be as interesting as the Jedi Killer. He's just there to be a military guy, and he's the one who used the Starkiller Base to blow up Hosnian Prime in TFA. While Starkiller Base was destroyed in that film, Hux survived... because somebody has to do the day-to-day work of jackbooted thuggery.Captain Phasma: Played by physically-imposing Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie, Phasma is the leader of the Stormtroopers. That's why she gets to look cooler than all the other Stormtroopers. She doesn't do a ton in The Force Awakens, but she does try and hunt down Finn once he defects. She'll be back in The Last Jedi, though how her trip down the garbage chute in TFA affects her standing in the new film remains to be seen.C-3PO and R2-D2: The classic droids are back. C-3PO did his usual schtick in The Force Awakens, but R2-D2 spent most of the movie powered down. However, toward the end he came back online, allowing the Resistance to finish the map to track down Luke Skywalker. The dynamic duo were briefly reunited, although R2 left with Rey and Chewie shortly thereafter to go find Luke.BB-8: BB-8 likes to hang out with Poe Dameron, but he also seems to get along pretty well with Rey. However, with Rey busy being trained in the ways of the Jedi -- and R2-D2 along for that ride last we saw -- it will probably be the Poe and BB-8 show in The Last Jedi.Chewbacca: Chewbacca had it pretty rough in The Force Awakens. His best buddy Han Solo is dead, so Chewie likely has revenge on his mind -- and will surely keep on working alongside the Resistance to try and stop Kylo Ren and company. He was last seen accompanying Rey on her mission to find Luke. Fingers crossed he has time to get home for Life Day as well.Rose Tico: Played by Kelly Marie Tran, Rose Tico is considered the biggest new role in The Last Jedi. Since she wasn't in The Force Awakens, we don't know a ton about her. We just know that she works in maintenance for the Resistance and will accompany Finn on his mission to Canto Bight. Also, she's she’s "starstruck" by him.Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo: Holdo is another new character, played by Laura Dern. She's an officer in the Resistance, and we know she shoots a gun, because Dern told an anecdote on the interview circuit where she said that she would say "Pew! Pew! Pew!" when pretending to fire during filming.DJ: Technically, Benicio Del Toro's character is unnamed, but Rian Johnson referred to him as "DJ," so there you have it. Since the character is played by Del Toro, and the filmmakers are bothering with all this mystery around him, he'll probably be a notable individual in the story.Nien Nunb: The alien pilot whose name really wants to autocorrect to "Nine Numb," Nien Nunb first made his appearance in the Star Wars universe in Return of the Jedi. He popped back up in The Force Awakens as a fighter pilot, and he's still alive and confirmed to be appearing in The Last Jedi too.Admiral Ackbar: We should probably just say "It's a trap" and move on, but perhaps not everybody is intimately familiar with the fish-faced gentleman from Mon Calamari. Like Nien Nunb, Ackbar made his first appearance in Return of the Jedi, and he too was a member of the Resistance in The Force Awakens. He had a pretty big role in the plot to destroy Starkiller Base, and he'll still be fighting with the Resistance in this upcoming Star Wars film.Praetorian Guard: Not to be confused with the real Praetorian Guard who protected the Emperor in Ancient Rome, Star Wars' answer to the Romans are the people in charge of protecting Supreme Leader Snoke. They kind of look like if Daft Punk got really militant, and also really into the color red. Paige Tico: Rose has a sister named Paige who is a fighter pilot alongside Poe Dameron. We don't know a ton about her at this point, but one assumes she'll be involved in a battle of some sort.The Caretakers: Call them the Fish Nuns if you want. Who could resist? They also are kind of reminiscent of Station from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. We know that they are the caretakers of the ancient temples on Ahch-To, the distant, isolated planet where Rey found Luke. We don't know much else, but do we really need to? Again, they are Fish Nuns.Porgs: Look, you've seen the porgs. You have feelings about the porgs. You either like how cutesy they are or think they are going to be obnoxious. They are considered the Star Wars world's answer to puffins. They kind of look like seals too. One assumes they won't be important. If the porgs are important to the plot, it could get annoying.BB-9E: BB-9E is basically the evil version of BB-8. It looks like BB-8, but it's black so you know it's evil. The droid will apparently serve aboard Snoke's Star Destroyer the Supremacy.
